"Trump's Repeat Violations of Gag Order in Hush Money Trial Could Lead to Prison"

Manhattan prosecutors accuse Donald Trump of violating a gag order seven times since the start of his hush-money criminal trial, with the prosecution pointing to public statements and social media posts as evidence. Trump's attorneys argue that the posts do not constitute violations, but some of his statements, including invoking right-wing conspiracies about the jury selection process, have raised concerns. Additionally, a juror was excused from the trial due to concerns about potential harassment after being publicly identified.

Trump's requests denied in defamation and rape trials.

A judge has rejected Donald Trump's request to learn the identities of jurors expected to decide whether he defamed writer E. Jean Carroll, who also claims he raped her. The judge said it was his choice whether to use questionnaires, and nothing has changed his decision to seat an anonymous jury at the April 25 trial, reflecting the threat of juror harassment. Trump had argued that his recent criminal indictment had brought on a "deluge of prejudicial media coverage" that would make it tough to find an impartial jury in Carroll's civil case.
